If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Yes, but what has really happened is that companies just removed "gluten-free" from their packaging, as General Mills has done for Canadian Cheerios. Why they would allow a 20ppm for gluten-free in other foods and only set this higher level for oats is very odd, and no other countries do this.

Celiac.com 08/27/2025 - This study investigates the presence of gluten contamination in two key forms of oats: raw oat seeds and processed oat-only products that are marketed as gluten-free. The aim was to assess whether oats labeled as... -
A typical CYA response--since they don't label it that way they don't test for gluten, thus can't guarantee it's gluten-free, even though no gluten ingredients are used in the product.

I understand your immense frustration after 17 years of excellent management; it's incredibly disorienting to have your numbers spike without a clear cause or physical symptoms. Given your thorough investigation, the Crunchmaster crackers are a very plausible culprit, despite their certification. Certification ensures gluten is below 20ppm, but if you are...

Purposefully Glutening Myself?
Scott Adams replied to annamarie6655's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dr. Jean Duane published a book on Celiac.com, and although all chapters are worth reading, there are some that cover this perfectly. Here is the link to the 1st chapter: This chapter and others cover this topic well: -
As I recall Canada created some special rules just for gluten-free oats--not other gluten-free products--right around the time that General Mills launched their gluten-free Cheerios. The move seemed more politically motivated given that other products could be 20 ppm or below, but not oats. Here is an article we wrote at the time:

Bread choice for a newbie
Scott Adams replied to humerme's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I second that motion! Franz Gluten Free may not be in all Costco's--perhaps in the Western USA only? It's my go to bread for our family because it is whole grain, tastes great, has reasonable sized slices, and is only ~$5 per loaf (sold in twin packs where each loaf is vacuum packed). Most other breads are a lot more expensive. -
Gluten-Free Nachos with Fresh Pico de Gallo and Avocado Crema

Celiac.com 08/26/2025 - Nachos may have originated as a simple late-night snack in northern Mexico, but over time, they’ve evolved into a beloved, customizable comfort food enjoyed across the globe. The original dish—created in 1943 b... -
That is a solid home test--feel free to share other tests you run.

Definitely consult with your doctor before considering such high doses--5,000 IU is likely fine, but 50,000 IU could cause serious issues over time.

Celiac disease was considered a pre-existing condition that affected costs before the ACA, and I was paying life insurance premiums at age 45 that a 70 year old would have to pay because of it (this was back when it was my only diagnosis--not that case now). I don't disagree with @plumbago's approach here either, but just keep in mind, it will be on...
-
I personally don't believe you have an obligation to disclose such a diagnosis with your doctor or insurance company, especially if a health insurance company can use this information against you for the rest of your life--and yes, it does look like we may be headed back a time a place where pre-existing conditions could affect the cost and ability to get...

I had to look up "TVP" and it is this product: https://www.bobsredmill.com/product/tvp-textured-veg-protein What type of test did you use? Was it a mail order kit, if so, what brand, or did you send out samples to be tested at a lab?

Celiac.com 08/25/2025 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where the body reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This immune response damages the small intestine and can lead to a wide range of symptoms. While... -
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, not something one "outgrows"; the historical belief that children did has been completely debunked by modern science. The immune response to gluten is lifelong. Furthermore, the idea that a strong immune system can "subdue" celiac disease is incorrect—the disease is the immune system mistakenly attacking the body. ...

Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread...

It could, but it could also mean that gluten still not being fully eliminated. It's important to get a celiac disease blood panel to help figure this out. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions that can cause damaged...
